Everything you need to know about weddings in County Limerick

Limerick, the heart of the Shannon Region, is steeped in history and natural beauty, making it an inherently romantic wedding destination. The city's Georgian architecture provides a graceful urban backdrop, while the surrounding county offers idyllic countryside, rolling hills, and the majestic River Shannon.

Couples can capture timeless photos at iconic locations like King John's Castle, the picturesque village of Adare, or along the peaceful riverbanks.

The area is renowned for its diverse romantic venues:

  • Historic Castles: Live out a fairytale in a centuries-old castle with grand halls and sprawling estates.
  • Elegant Manor Houses: Host a sophisticated affair in a Georgian or Victorian country house, known for its refined charm.

The cost of a wedding venue in Limerick can vary significantly based on the type of venue, guest count, and season. On average, couples can expect to budget between €80 - €150 per guest for a wedding package.

These packages typically include:

  • Exclusive room hire
  • A multi-course meal
  • A welcome drinks reception
  • Wine with dinner

Budgeting Tips:

  • Off-Peak Savings: Consider a midweek or off-season (November-February) wedding for potentially lower rates and greater availability.
  • All-Inclusive Packages: Venues offering comprehensive packages can simplify planning and often provide better value.
  • Guest List: The final guest count is the biggest factor influencing cost, so finalising this early is key to managing your budget.

FAQ's

What makes Limerick a great choice for a romantic wedding?

Limerick beautifully blends history and nature. You can choose from fairytale castles, elegant manor houses, and riverside settings. The county's stunning landscapes and the historic charm of the city and villages like Adare provide a uniquely enchanting and memorable backdrop for a wedding.

Are there many exclusive-use romantic wedding venues in Co. Limerick?

Yes, Limerick excels in offering exclusive-use venues. Many of its most sought-after castles, country houses, and historic estates can be hired for your private celebration. This ensures complete intimacy and allows you to tailor the entire space to your wedding vision for the day or weekend.

What is the legal process for getting married in Limerick?

To get legally married in Ireland, you must give three months' notice to a Registrar, in person. You'll need to book a Registration Notification appointment. This applies whether you are having a civil, religious, or secular ceremony. Be sure to check the official HSE website for the most current requirements.

Can we have an outdoor wedding ceremony in Limerick?

Absolutely. Many romantic venues in Limerick have stunning grounds, walled gardens, and riverside terraces that are licensed for outdoor civil ceremonies. However, given Ireland's changeable weather, it's essential to ensure your chosen venue also has an equally beautiful indoor backup plan.

How far in advance should we book a romantic wedding venue in Limerick?

For popular romantic venues, especially castles and well-known manors, it's advisable to book 12 to 18 months in advance, particularly for a weekend date in the summer. If you are flexible with a midweek or off-season date, you may find availability with a shorter lead time.

What kind of photo opportunities do romantic Limerick venues offer?

Limerick is a photographer's dream. Venues often feature ancient castle walls, manicured formal gardens, dramatic sweeping driveways, lakeside settings, and grand interiors with ornate details and elegant staircases. The surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for breathtaking shots with rolling hills and rustic charm.
